BASILDON snooker professional Stuart Bingham holds a 5-3 lead over Joe Perry going into the second session of their last-16 match at the World Championships.

Bingham, 31, took the first thanks to a missed red from his oppponent before Perry levelled.

The pair shared the next two before Bingham nicked the next three, just missing out on a ton in the fifth.

Perry was unlucky not to take the sixth and seventh with 50-plus breaks, but he won the last with a 66.

The best of 25 frames match resumes tomorrow at 10am.
